It’s only been a day since rookie singer Eddy Kim dropped his debut single “2 Years Apart,” but has quickly gained the interest of music critics for topping the online real-time music charts despite competing with respectable singers Park Hyo Shin and Lim Chang Jung as well as girl group A Pink, among others.

Fans who have followed him when he auditioned for the fourth season of “Superstar K” as Kim Jung Hwan might recognize the song as it is a song that he performed during the program, which received a lot of love.

“2 Years Apart” is a catchy tune composed and written by Eddy Kim during his time in military service. The song captures his loneliness and being separated from his girlfriend for two years due to serving in the military.

Eddy Kim signed an exclusive contract with music powerhouse MYSTIC89, home to artists such as Yoon Jong Shin, Park Ji Yoon, Lim Kim, and more. As Lim Kim cemented her status last year as a monster rookie, many eyes are on Eddy Kim to see if he will achieve similar success.
